Power Consumption Table

These figures are approximate representations. The actual power consumption of you appliances may vary substantially from these figures. Check the power tags, or better yet, measure the amperage draw with a clamp-on ammeter.

Remember that some items, such as garage door openers, are only used for a fraction of an hour or minute per day. A 300 watt item used for 5 minutes per day will only consume 25 watt hours per day.

Where a range of numbers are given, the lower figure often denotes a technologically newer and more efficent model. The letters "NA" denote appliances which would normally be powered by non-electrical sorces in a PV powered home (utility grid should be used).
